Master Class on T.S. Eliot’s “Four Quartets”

Gavin House 1220 E 58th St., Chicago, IL

James Matthew Wilson, University of Saint Thomas, Houston

A master class with poet and professor James Matthew Wilson (University of St. Thomas, Houston). Open to current graduate students, faculty, and advanced University of Chicago undergraduate students. Others interested in participating should contact us. Registrants will receive copies of the prepared reading. Generally regarded as the greatest poem of the twentieth century, T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets is not only an important poem but a masterful modern contribution to the long Christian-Platonist tradition of the West. It is at once a work of art and a suggestive vision of Christian humanist metaphysics, ethics, and mystical theology, one to which perhaps only Dante's Divine...

Monastic Wisdom Seminar

Our Lady of Dallas Cistercian Abbey 3550 Cistercian Rd, Dallas, TX

APPLY HERE Do not be daunted immediately by fear and run away from the road that leads to salvation. It is bound to be narrow at the outset.

Aquinas’s Five Ways and Where they Lead

Gavin House 1220 E 58th St., Chicago, IL

APPLY HERE This intensive seminar will discuss St. Thomas Aquinas’s Five Ways of proving the existence of a God and the conception that he thinks they yield: that of a God who is at once utterly simple and utterly perfect, and therefore utterly beyond our comprehension. The sessions will center on Summa theologiae, I, qq. 2-4—especially, of course, I, q. 2, a. 3, which contains the Five Ways themselves—and on selected texts from I, qq. 12 & 13. Participants will also discuss relevant passages from other works of St. Thomas, as well as his historical influences and some related contemporary...

Modern Science and Christian Faith for Graduate Students

Harvard University Mount Auburn Street, Cambridge, MA

APPLY HERE The goal of this seminar is to provide students with the background knowledge and conceptual tools necessary to understand and think clearly about the relation of science and faith. This will help them to integrate scientific and theological ways of understanding in their own thinking, and make it possible for them to help others (including their future colleagues and students) to achieve such integration. The overarching goal is to help develop a cadre of people with a broad and informed understanding of these issues who can be the nucleus from which wider outreach efforts might grow. Among the...

Origen of Alexandria’s On First Principles

University of St. Michael's College 81 St. Mary's Street Toronto, ON M5S 1J4, Toronto, ON

APPLY HERE This seminar will be a close reading of Origen’s On First Principles, supplemented by various other texts from his corpus. One of the first systematic presentations of the Christian faith, On First Principles, written c. 220, is also a complex text to engage. While we possess some Greek fragments, the whole survives only in a much later Latin translation. At the same time, it is essential to see how the positions that Origen puts forth in this work relate to those we find developed in his biblical exegesis. Accordingly, we will examine texts from the On First Principles in parallel with selections from his Commentary...
